Dwane Casey Job Quotations

Right now, Marcus is our point guard. Marko continues to work. I think that competition makes your team better. Right now, Marcus is doing a good job and has done nothing wrong to lose his position.

He's doing a very good job of playing under control. He's got his passion back.

He's done a good job of going in there and keeping it together and continuing to train - which is hard to do sometimes. Especially when you have a veteran team like that . . . that's used to doing things their way.

We made stands. We're doing a much better job picking it up defensively.

Kevin did a masterful job of rebounding. We have to have somebody to help out on the boards in the paint.

We didn't do a good job of matching up in transition. They were playing a small lineup. We didn't recognize quickly enough, because they were coming down and not looking to run a play but looking for the three-point line. If you're not ready to get back in transition, it's going to be a long night.

We did a good job in the first half, but in the second half I thought we were a little lax. Putting together 48 minutes is our goal from here on out ... that has been the story of our whole year.

Bracey did a heck of a job down the stretch. He was more comfortable and I think he relaxed.

Rashad did a very good job for us, running the break, shooting the three, spotting up. I've said this for a couple weeks - he's really improving.

It's not my job to question him. If he can't go, he can't go.

It's the NBA; everything's fair. If (the trade) doesn't work, it's on my shoulders. I take that responsibility, against a short amount of practice time. But it's the job of myself and my coaching staff to make it work.

Eddie Griffin had a great game. He did an excellent job of protecting the paint and playing big.

They did a great job of containing the basketball and getting guys out of their spots.

I don't think they blew by us once in a pick-and-roll situation. Where in the past couple games, they've had a smorgasbord, tonight he did an excellent job of containing that, stopping that and really executing our defensive schemes.
